What happened to Ellen?
Ellen Strotton was born Midhurst, Jun qtr 1898 and is here in 1901, as daughter of Elizabeth aged 53 in Treyford, West Sussex:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults By 1911, Edith Strotton (a genuine daughter of Elizabeth) has married Thomas Combes. She says she has been married 8 years(true) and has 5 living children of the marriage. Edith has 5 children with her, two over 8 years old. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults Alice and Ivy were both born in Treyford and appear on the GRO site as illegitimate Strottons. (Probably not Thomas's) So Alice, who was alive in 1901 was patently NOT a daughter of Elizabeth (as shown on that census). But where is Ellen? I cannot find her birth on the GRO site, nor as yet a marriage or death.

I didn't think of it either - just selected 'Phonetically Similar Variations'

The free 1939 Register search on FMP has an Ellen Strotten born 1899 living in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Birth month is May. It isn't showing me the names of anyone else in the household.

In 1911 Elizabeth says she has had 14 children, 9 living, 5 died, if that is any help.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Dendy_Hospital Her dob is May 20th, but the year is extremely difficult to be sure of as there is Sellotape over it. Looks like 1891 possibly?

She is in an institution in the same area in 1911, but no place of birth given. Year of birth is 1899, so I guess that should be what it says in 1939 and I need new glasses?

Can you post a link to the 1911 entry, please, Merry? I can't find it.
Edit - never mind, found it now. I was putting 1899 in the year of birth but ancestry wants 1900.
